Unironically, I think Trump was much better for Europe and the world. Unlike the presidents before and after him, he didn't initiate new wars. He was simply a humorously inept administrator of American decline. In terms of internal politics and policy, Biden is continuing much of what Trump started (such as confronting China, immigration policies, etc); the rest of the political theater is just what it appears to be – a theater. The disparity between Trump and Biden isn't as substantial as the mainstream press suggests, nor as significant as the zealous followers of both camps believe.
tl;dr:
Trump is one of the best US presidents for the world but he did almost start a war with Iran after the Soleimani assassination
Biden swooping in to bomb Nordstream-2 and render Europe dependent on expensive us lng imports was not one I saw coming. The sheer faithless depravity of the us political class is still shocking sometimes.
